Baton Rouge Zoo

It's a small zoo and needs some attention and care. My grandkids enjoyed the visit and the gift shop. I guess the highlight was the train ride.

Backyard Zoo

This is a smaller zoo with a wide variety of animals and exhibits. Visiting here is like walking into a menagerie in your own backyard.
